Team News/Form

Wednesday saw Tottenham exit the EFL Cup with a 2-0 loss to Chelsea. This followed their 1-0 defeat in the first leg. However, they showed resilience by overcoming a goal deficit to beat Morecambe in the FA Cup on Sunday. Arsenal's fate wasn't much brighter as they suffered a 1-0 knockout loss to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup. This marked the Gunners' second successive defeat, with their last being a 2-1 heartbreaker against Man City who scored in the dying moments of the match.

Tottenham might regain the likes of Eric Dier and Steven Bergwijn after they healed from recent setbacks. Cristian Romero's (thigh) and Son Heung-Min's (knock) statuses are uncertain for the game. Arsenal will be missing Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny, and Nicolas Pepe, who are out on AFCON duty. Folarin Balogun, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Granit Xhaka are sidelined due to illness.

Match Winner Betting Odds

The odds are tight for the Tottenham vs Arsenal face-off, indicating a nail-biter. Arsenal's wounds from their loss at Nottingham and City's last-minute dagger might see them fired up. They have won four of their recent five league encounters. Most recent victories on the road were against lower-tier teams like Norwich and Leeds. Currently, Arsenal stands at 19/10 odds for a win, a bet surely worth considering. Bet365 Predicting a draw in the North London derby feels like a shot in the dark. Arsenal's record shows just one draw in the 12 away battles this season, while Spurs have mirrored this with only one draw in 17 home clashes. Just two draws in the last 11 encounters underline how rare a tie is between these fierce rivals. Betfred rates chances of a deadlock at 12/5. Tottenham, riding high under Conte's leadership, haven't lost in their last eight under his command, and they emerged victorious in four of their previous five home clashes. A 13/8 bet on Spurs could be wise, especially considering their recent form. SpreadEx – our tip for this fixture. 

Under/Over Goals Market for Tottenham vs Arsenal

Both Arsenal and Tottenham have been prolific scorers but are equally prone to conceding, which hints at a goal fest. With over 2.5 goals appearing in seven of Spurs’ last eight home league games, the odds seem justified. BetVictor offers 19/20 odds on over 2.5 goals this Saturday. Yet, if you're chasing better returns, betting on over 3.5 goals might be the jackpot this derby. The previous face-off ended 3-1 in Arsenal's favor. Over 3.5 goals featured in four of their last five away days. Bet Victor's 13/5 odds for this option are quite enticing.

Anytime Goalscorer Bet Tips

Expect fireworks as both squads are stacked with potential scorers. With Son possibly on the sidelines for Spurs, Harry Kane is the next go-to for nabbing a goal. Though he's not at his best this season, Kane pocketed three goals in his last five outings, making Sky Bet's 7/5 odds an intriguing pick. Arsenal might offer better value though. Young guns Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe have been lethal this season; both netted in the earlier match-up. Saka, with four goals in three games, is pegged at 43/10 by SBK. However, Smith-Rowe with four in six could be the smarter bet at 22/5 odds.

Spurs are no longer the team that limped away 3-0 at the Emirates, and Conte will be demanding nothing short of excellence from his boys. Arteta, too, demands a response from his Gunners after their FA Cup stumble. The race for fourth place couldn’t be tighter. We hope our Tottenham vs Arsenal tips for 16/01/2022 proved insightful.
